The results reveal that the as-spun and as-milled alloys both exhibit the nanocrystalline and amorphous structure. The as-milled alloy shows a larger hydrogen absorption capacity as compared with the as-spun alloy. More than that, the as-milled alloy exhibits lower onset hydrogen desorption temperature than the as-spun one, which are 549.8 and 560.9 K, respectively. Additionally, the as-milled alloy shows a superior hydrogen desorption property to the as-spun one. On the basis of the time needed by desorbing hydrogen of 3 wt% H2, for the as- milled alloy, it needs 1106, 456, 343, and 180 s corresponding to hydrogen desorption temperatures of 593, 613, 633, and 653 K. However, for the as-spun alloy, the time needed is greater than 2928, 842, 356, and 197 s corresponding to the same temperatures. Hydrogen desorption activation energies of as-milled and as-spun alloys are 98.01 and 105.49 kJ/mol, respectively, which is responsible for that the as-milled alloy possesses a much faster dehydriding rate. By means of the measurement of pressure-composition-temperature (P-C-T) curves, the dehydrogenation enthalpy change of the alloys prepared by MS (△Hoe(MS)) and BM (△Hdc(BM)) is 81.84 and 79.46 kJ/mol, respectively, viz. △Hde(MS) 〉 △Hoc(BM).展开更多

The structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the alloys were investigated in detail.X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analysis show that LaMgNi4 phase and LaNi5 phase are obtained. The lattice parameters of the two phases increase first and then decrease with Co content increasing.The electrochemical properties of the alloy electrodes were measured by means of simulated battery tests. Results show that the addition of Co does not change the discharge voltage plateau of the alloy electrodes. However, the maximum discharge capacity increases from 319.9 mAh·g^-1(x = 0)to 347.5 mAh·g^-1(x = 0.4) and then decreases to331.7 mAh·g^-1(x = 0.8). The effects of Co content on electrochemical kinetics of the alloy electrodes were also performed. The high rate dischargeability(HRD) first increases and then decreases with Co content increasing and reaches the maximum value(95.0 %) when x = 0.4. Test results of the electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS),potentiodynamic polarization curves and constant potential step measurements of the alloy electrodes all demonstrate that when Co content is 0.4 at%, the alloy exhibits the best comprehensive electrochemical properties.展开更多

The effects of Ni content and milling time on hydrogen storage thermodynamics and dynamics of the alloys were systematically investigated. The gaseous hydrogen absorption and desorption properties were investigated by Sieverts apparatus and differential scanning calorimeter connected with a H_2 detector. Results show that increasing Ni content significantly improves hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics of the alloys. Furthermore,varying milling time has an obvious effect on the hydrogen storage properties of the alloys. Hydrogen absorption saturation ratio(R^a_(10); a ratio of the hydrogen absorption capacity in 10 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity) of the alloys obtains the maximum value with varying milling time. Hydrogen desorption ratio(R^d_(20), a ratio of the hydrogen desorption capacity in 20 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity) of the alloys always increases with extending milling time. The improved hydrogen desorption kinetics of the alloys are considered to be ascribed to the decreased hydrogen desorption activation energy caused by increasing Ni content and milling time.展开更多

Nanocrystalline and amorphous -Mg1?xCexNi0.9Al0.1 (x?=?0–0.08)?+?50 wt.% Ni hydrogen storage alloys were synthesized through mechanical milling. The sample alloys show excellent activation property and have good electrochemi-cal hydrogenation and dehydrogenation property at normal temperature. The discharge capacity has a peak value with Ce content varying which is 461.6 mAh/g for 10-h milled alloy, while that of -Ce0.04 alloy augments from 352.6 to 536.9 mAh/g with milling time extending from 5 to 30 h. Cycle stability is conspicuously improved with Ce content and milling duration augment. To be specific, when cycle number is fixed at 100, the capacity retention rate augments from 41% to 72% after Ce dosage rising from 0 to 0.08 for the 10-h milled alloy and from 58% to 76% after milling duration extending from 5 to 30 h for -Ce0.06 alloy. Additionally, the electrochemical kinetics of the alloys own peak values with Ce proportion varying;however, they always rise with milling duration extending.展开更多
